OK a K75S, a 1987, at least 98K miles (when the odo stopped working yrs ago) I noticed a drip of oil from the water/oil pump tell tale drain.
I went for a reconditioned pump from Motorworks in Yorkshire.
Installation without a problem,yesterday. Left 24hrs to let sealant do it's thing.
Today, put fluids back into bike , it fired up...............to my horror oil was simply pissing out of the tell tale drain,not a drip a stream.
NOT when bike running of oddly only when I switched off
Not well pleased,however let it run to see if it would need to bed in/settle in.
And lo, after a wee while it did,after losing about 100mls or so of oil.
Stopped bike and topped up to the dot,bloody thing started to piss oil again, bike NOT running.
Start the bike, the leak stops,stop the bike it starts to leak UNTIL the level disappears from the sight glass window,then it stops.
200 pounds for a reconned pump and it leaks :(
BUT I am intrigued that it leaks only when engine stops and only until level drops to below the sight glass.
Now , have Motorworks neglected install the oil seal, or is it badly installed ?
OR, could it be the o ring on the smaller toothed gear wheel ???
OR something else, any help very much appreciated, Johnny Scotland
PS this is not the same bike that had the water in the tank problem recently
